Abstract

Abstract

The G -matrix model method is usually used to achieve the brightness temperature reconstruction for the one-Dimensional (1-D) synthetic aperture microwave radiometer system. For the 1-D radiometer system, the imaging process mainly includes: the radiometer instrument observes the full field of view of the 2-D target scene maps, and obtains the 1-D samples of the visibility, and then inverts the system parameter matrix G to realize the reconstruction of the 1-D image of the target scene. Since the system sampling baselines are only distributed in the 1-D of the spatial frequency domain, in the process of the brightness temperature image reconstruction, the matrix G needs to realize 2-D to 1-D conversion. Therefore, two G -matrix modification methods are proposed to improve the imaging quality for the 1-D synthetic aperture microwave radiometer. For the 8-element ground radiometer prototype system and the 10-element salinity radiometer system, theoretical analysis and simulation experiments have verified that the G -matrix modification methods proposed in this paper can effectively improve the imaging results, and can effectively suppress the imaging error caused by the side-lobed degradation of the antenna patterns.
